The first baby born in 2020 at the William Newton Family Birthing Center was delivered at 9:23 a.m. on Wednesday, January 1 in Winfield, Kansas.

Emma Rose Eastman, daughter of Gage Eastman and Isabel Barron, weighed six pounds 3.8 ounces and was 19.75 inches long. The family currently resides in Arkansas City.

Baby Eastman was delivered by Tarena Sisk, CNM, of Sunflower OB-GYN.

Mom Isabel shared that Emma surprisingly arrived three weeks early. “She did not want to start the New Year without us,” Barron exclaimed.

The William Newton Family Birthing Center is equipped with seven private rooms and two birthing suites. In 2019, William Newton Hospital welcomed 298 newborns to its nursery.
